You don’t mess with the unions in the Nordics. They have each other’s back and will fuck you over hard. When Tesla tried it they even stopped getting mail because the postman union was in solidarity.

As sad as it may seem, Tesla did kind of win that fight in the end. All the union employees were bought out in the end, and the strike was called off. Tesla operates with impunity in Sweden.

Also tons of Teslas on the road here. During the time they were in the news for getting torched in the US, nothing of the sort happened here.

But now all strikers at Tesla has been bought out, so IF metal ceased the strike due to no strikers left… not sure if the other unions who sympathy-striked followed suit, but my guess is that they did…

I don’t know if that’s winning for Tesla? Every union worker got a ton of money and Tesla still can’t go crazy with treating their employees because nothing stops them from joining a union afaik.

In Norway a guy uniniozed a McDonalds in Stavanger, he got called in to the main office and accused of a whole bunch of nonsense so they could fire him, but he could document or refute all of it. Meanwhile the big shot from the union just sat there while he defended himself. Finally, the meeting over, the union guy got up and said: if you fire him, we will sue you until there’s not a fucking cheeseburger left in all of Norway. And the McDonald’s lawyers went pale, and that was the end of that.

Sounds like the guy had already defended himself solidly. I wonder if the union dude really made a difference or if the dragon was already dead.

Without the union he would have been fired, but could have sued them.
